2.5. RAM DISK
A RAM DISK can be set up as a virtual media device by setting a given amount of the total printer memory
as the RAM DISK. (This is only available for the FS-1750 when the printer's memory has been expanded to
12 MB or more.) By setting up a RAM DISK electronic sorting can be done. (This cuts down the total time of
printing.) Note however that data written to the RAM DISK is lost if the power to the printer is turned off
or the printer is reset. RAM DISK settings can be made from the printer's control panel.
☛ The RAM DISK is set from the printer's user memory. The printer's printing speed may therefore drop
or insufficient memory errors result depending on the value of the RAM DISK setting.
